Our home

Kentchurch Court, Herefordshire, is a stately home that has been in the Scudamore family for over 1,000 years. Surrounded by a deer park that dates back to the Knights Templars, the house lies at the heart of an estate spreading over 5,000 acres.

Kentchurch Court nestles under Garway Hill in the Monnow Valley, tucked away in the once turbulent border country between England and Wales.

The present owners are Mr and Mrs John Lucas-Scudamore.

Accommodation

We offer a unique opportunity for a select number of paying guests to enjoy the aristocratic country house lifestyle. Kentchurch Court is a gracious family home - not a hotel. In the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of this exquisite setting, small groups can enjoy their own private house party, indulging in a high standard of delicious food, fresh from the estate, together with all the social and sporting advantages of rural Herefordshire. Please contact us for availability and prices.

Tours

Tours can be arranged by appointment for visitors who are interested in the history of the house and the Scudamore family .

Themed dinner parties
